Breeding Season is the unholy combination of a farming sim and a sex game. Breed a variety of sexy monsters together for sale to adventurous clients. Featuring Catgirls, Dickwolves, Harpies; you name it. Currently in early alpha.

NINJA HOTFIX 2: 3.4.2- Altered how store monsters were generated to hopefully make clients less trivial. Also upped the cost for the ranch upgrades.

NINJA HOTFIX: 3.4.1- Fixed a bug that was making gold clients not fulfill correctly and letting you spam it for infinite gil.UPDATE (4/29/13): Alpha Version 3.4Still a good possibility of game-breaking bugs. Let me know right away if you find any.Player Pregnancy- The "first draft" of player pregnancy is now in the game! The player has a 1/15 chance of getting pregnant when you have sex with a male monster (this can be increased by fertility increasing consumables and traits). The player will carry the monster through a 7 day term, at the ending of which the new monster is born. The monster will be the same type and appearance as its father, with a very high probability of retaining its fathers stats. There are two rare traits that can only be obtained through player pregnancy. Currently there is no option to turn off pregnant animations, but this will be included later. Let me know how you feel about the very exaggerated pregnancy.Status Screen- There's now a menu for viewing information about your player and the traits that you've unlocked.Let me know if there's any bug fixes that I've missed. There's still a fix incoming for the weirdness with the way the hover-over works inside the monster pens.

SO far I found that i can repeat the same gold client turn in multiple times with the same monster, and if i don't exit the window i can get ridiculous amounts of money, then when i exit the window the monster I was trading in repeatedly vanishes and the traits don't unlock.

Um, I can't get the new features to work at all... and I'm on 3.4. Five males harvested a day for twenty days and still no luck? I get it's supposed to be rare, but... shouldn't the new features kick in at 3-5 days at that rate?

Found the Gold Client glitch-Catgirl on day 1/19-Gold client did not take catgirl from inventory nor update the Gold Client request so was able to "sell" the same catgirl to the same client until I had over 10mil gil and beat the game come month 4. Did not let me just pay off the full amount owed immediately or I would have "won" at the end of month 1. Also, at one point on the Silver Client list he wanted a Butt Stallion with the "Are you sure you're not adopted" trait and some high-ish stats but when I got the BS to the requested stats it would not acknowledge that he qualified and so after that, with the Gold Client already glitched, I could only fulfill Bronze Client requests until I got to the "You Win" screen.

I have the same problem, the Gold Client wants a Dickwolf with "Albino" and some stats but when i meet these requirements i can't sell it to them. It says "this monster does not meet the client's demands" and the stats of my "albino" Dickwolf are more then double as high as required.

Still running into this problem where the gold client is not recognizing that the BS has the desired trait. "No Downsides" trait desired and present, all other stats within client desired zone, client does not awknowledge BS meets needs.

A few glitches: Albino and Are you sure you aren't adopted were combining in unusual ways. I would expect if the child has albino trait, they would appear albino.

Holstauruses with Albino and Are you sure you aren't adopted could sexually transmit skin/hair color. May not depend on traits, just made it noticeable. Not always, only intermittent, happened to dickwolves and butt stallions.

Like the new herp/derp warnings, couldn't actually get it to proc, but didn't try statistically significant number of times.

Pregnancy, It would probably be a bit of work, but is there a way to have her start out "Less Pregnant" and have her belly grow through the course of the seven days to end up "Exageratedly Pregnant"? If not, no prob, game is awesome and coming along absolutely great!

Okay, others might not be having this problem but when I breed the monsters, none of them seem to give birth at all. I played it for several days through (I was up to day 8), and no births. I was trying to breed some more dickwolves or catgirls...so I'm not sure about the other monsters.

The Herpderp warnings are messed up, for example with a borderline herpderp and a new one bought from the store the warning will still say herpderp despite this pairing not producing herpderps.Also had the "Are you sure you're not adopted" bug when trying to sell for a gold client.Human intellect seems to be crazy overpowered, they just absorb everything and pass it on to their children. All the child needs is the intellect then you can reacquire every trait.

Yes, demons are going in pretty soon, but they won't be a full-fledged monster type just yet (will be missing most of their animations). Their bit on the donation list will be for completing their animations.

Demons only have males (so far, I might add Succubi later, but that would be a different monster type). Elves are the only special ones in regards to getting both male and female monsters, and that's largely due to my own personal preference. Opposite gender versions of existing monsters are on the table if enough people want that, though, but it will take me time.

Is there anyway in the next update, you can make it so once you lose the game the first time the weird lady can stop talking you. Because its pretty annoying when she says, "Oh no money, jail time for you." And I was thinking about import game saves, but it would start all over at day one or at least let you bring over one monster from previous version; you know like a small head start in the next version. Just want to know your thoughts on these opinions.

Eh, I didn't...I view as long as your game works. Not all of us can be good at programing, flash with actionscript allows for more leniency for those that aren't. It is more of a soft programming software so when one little thing doesn't work it doesn't always crash the rest of the project.

I made sure I have the most recent version (3.4.4) I can't seem to fulfill this gold order.

Current one isStr > 167Sta > 120Dex > 178Must have CruelAnything but a Holstaurus

I've made a few creatures that meet these requirements but nothing is working. I've restarted a few times now, but I didn't note what the exact requirements were that I wouldn't accept. I always end up getting stuck on a gord client that will not accept anything though.

So I found this game and I must say nice work. I am curious to see how this develops further.Since I have said that, some constructive criticism:

Human intelligence is SO overpowered its insane. Perhaps you should give it ranks and for every rank you can increase the max level of traits you can copy. Or you could give the traits more "quality classes" and you can only copy the lower ones.

Some of the traits you unlock seem counterproductive (cruel comes to mind). I think the unlocks should be either only positive or you should be able to disable them.

Its actually rather easy to get a stat capped creature (especially with human adaption). Perhaps there should be more ranch upgrades and with harpy den 1 you can only have harpies capped at for example 200 stats. With den 2 you could have 400 as cap

Gold clients that want stats below a certain threshold seem counterintuitive. Why would they want a weaker creature by default? It would make more sense if they wouldn't pay anything extra for high strength if they don't care about it.

Stats below a certain threshold are intended to add difficulty. As far as "storyline justification", they're just people with particular tastes: For instance, if I want a more docile monster I'll want their ferocity to be lower.

Cruel IS a positive trait: it's a great way to make a monster who can fulfill client requirements below a certain threshold.

Hey there, first of all, very nice work on this update, it has to be the best so far.

I think it has been said, but human intellect is both overpowered and a plague as it is, it needs some tweaking.You should sort the traits between "genetical stuff" that can't be copied and "ability" trait that can be copied.Also, some traits should exclude each other, like "altruistic" and "cruel" or "Are you sure you're not adopted" and "strong family resemblance".

It's just silly to see your monster changing its color and shape during a sexual intercourse, and it's infuriating to have an altruistic monster suddenly turning cruel.

I am not sure how people say this game is easy?In the first month it is intermediate, then it gets easy allowing me to build, and then it gets harder as money gets higher and quickly. And I am not sure how I would make hundreds of thousands of gold per month later in game.

And did the gold system change? At first it seemed it was 1000+whatever was left and then what she took last time+what you have this time. Now it seems to increase but in some different way.

Also the clients that want the monsters with lower stats a few months into the game are tough to satisfy. Maybe have it that at the end of a month the clients change their wants?

Also an idea is maybe have it where you can hire workers to harvest or increase stats. Not alot of farms only have one worker. :PIt would help since it would generate gold later in game when you get them. And two the game started to drag on when its 'harvest, sleep, harvest, sleep' 30 times a month for how long it takes.

And is there a wiki or something that gives tips or something for the game? I don’t know what breeding modifier is. : /

And what do the stars next to the consumable’s stats mean?

Also, is there a way to save the game without losing the save when I delete all cookies?

As for raising money for the game, have you tried looking at offbeatr.com?

I'll be honest, no I didn't realize that. In that case, it'll be a hell of a lot easier now knowing that since I was up to something like 6k next payment and would need to grind harvest the entire month to get it. The thought of trying to do a 12k or more the following month would be a headache LOL

Start a game. There are two things to give you a real jumpstart:Go to town and check the creatures that are for sale. Buy a catgirl and a dickwolf that have ONLY positive modifiers (stam/dex for the catgirl and str/dex for the dickwolf). Its okay if you have to refresh ONCE to reach this goal. If you don't get them: Restart

Check your customers. Make sure that at least one of the goals is easily reachable. Dex, Sta and Str stats are easy to reach, the others can be reached but are more difficult. If all of them ask for harpies or other creatures you cant have yet: Restart.

Those 2 things should get you started. If you are really lucky you might get creatures with only positive stats and even a trait or multiple creatures with only positive modifiers. A creature with cha+ can also help early to improve your harvest value.

Start breeding to improve your stats and to get offspring with a sweet 3 stats + modifier and no negatives. If you get the perfect result it will end in a male one that you can use to breed with you (breed the creature with itself) to get the overpowered human intelligence trait.

With a really, really good start you can make over 3k the first month.

Month 2 should be: get a harpy with all night long (preferably with a stat+ you dont have yet) and make sure your 3stats monster gets to breeding. End result: 4 stats+ with all night long.

And to get the money really flowing: get a butt horse with geyser.With geyser 10, high cha creature you can make 2k cash per milking. And with high stam/ all night long 10 you can get 10-15 milkings a day depending on dexterity (which should be easy thanks to the early 2x dex+ from your first creatures) that's 20k+ gold per day.

I have a question regarding the incest/Herp-Derp system.From my experience (limited black box testing in a way) I assume there is a hidden counter for inbreeding; so that once it hits a certain threshold, all offspring are herp-derp. Is there a way to reverse the counter, or are you just screwed after one point?Here an example that lead to this question:(A and B are already products of inbreeding)A+B = CC+A = DD + new (storebought) = EE + new = herp-derp

1: I like the idea of paying back 10mil over 5 years, but Delilah's scaling for payment is still a bit off. It punishes the player for earning money too quickly. Perhaps the player can go to the guild and pay Margo so the loan gets payed down without the payment getting out of control at the end of the month.

2: In the strategy guide posted above and my own experience, it's best to restart the game a few times until you get at least one dickwolf and one catgirl with +dex, +str, and +sta. Can the pet shop be set so that the first day it only has +stats or even just the first time you go?

3: Am I the only one that gets a little overwhelmed by mid game when all the buildings are full? It would be nice to be able to hide monsters that you know you aren't breeding for a few days, or maybe send them to a petting zoo for low level but reliable money flow while you're trying to breed in a particular trait.

4: I love the pregnancy belly at extreme from the start and would appreciate the option screen to let the user lock the belly at full instead of growing through the term.

5: PLEASE finish the Holstaurus animations, and before you integrate any more characters, maybe show them off before an update and then add all their animations at once. Add me in for wanting succubi on the voting menu.

It took me a bit to understand the mechanics of the game, but now I'm playing it very happily!

suggestions: The monthly increase is way too hard on novices. While being able to continue playing regardless is cool, i'd suggest either to be able to choose an 'easy' setting where the added value is lower?

bugs: The albino herpes = everything my albino touches, it turns white! and then the infected ones also spread the albino disease, now all my monsters are snowy white ;_;

I love that my favored feature, neoteny,is currently winning. I wish i had some money to donate, but I'm fresh out for the moment. I would like to say that the donation for features thing is a great idea that works, provided you continue releasing updated in a timely fashion. When money is put down, people get testy. If you don't have time, you should close donations after a set period as a sign of goodwill that you aren't just milking the donations for nothing.

That sucks about your tablet, man. I hope that the repairs went smoothly. I've been enjoying your art and animations. Really fun stuff. Go ahead and take as long as you like to finish the neoteny stuff, or at least give us an options button to hide it.

As for the ending, is there an actual ending, or just a couple of dialog screens? Has anyone managed to balance the money system and pay off the debt? I was able to get a couple of geyser 10 and greased lightning 10 monsters, but even then the payment eventually hit ~4mil for the month and there just wasn't enough jizz in a day to pay that off.

The clouds show through the last unused building on the left (as you look at it), between the windows and the end of the wall closest to the street. also the hover names, of the animals, accumulate at the top sometimes covering buttons making them (the buttons) unusable.

Ideas:make traits buy-able instead of unlocking them from selling to clients. this way we can select what traits we want and uses up all that extra cash this game has. in the future these prices could be adjusted to add difficulty levels. Could call the buy-able things "licenses" like FF12. The more a trait helps you out the more it would be.

Have the pet shop buy monsters too. this way we can get more money to buy the new traits or pay the debt. Keep the special clients who would pay top dollar. The pet shop sell price would be much less than the clients. This way we aren't releasing dozens of monsters we worked to get.

(could also make a mix of buying traits and special client unlocks)

have a place in town to make payments on debt. this way you no longer have to worry over increasing amounts. instead it would be a constant minimum that would be due and you could pay more and when you have money. If the minimum isn't met then she comes after you.

Skip mating/harvesting scenes. have a check box or something to skip those scenes if your doing something 5+ times it gets old.

don't know if its still in the game or not but a way to keep playing after you finish paying(only did it once in version 2).

Problems I see in the future:by not finishing the animations for the monsters you have now (basic ones not cum shot), you're setting yourself up to a huge backlog of unfinished things. yes, what people paid for should be a priory; but after you finish the excising.

Sorry about that. For reference for others: I can most easily be reached through private messages on the Legend of Krystal forums. I definitely can be reached by e-mail, though, but I get a lot of spam and may miss your message, so don't feel bad about bugging me about it here or on LoK if I don't respond after a while.

Hey, just wanted to make sure someone said this. thank you for putting so much effort into this, i know allot of what you hear is how the game isnt working this way or that, but for gods sakes! thanks for making the game. im spending hours a day just playing and replaying this game. i havent won yet cause i keep starting fresh every day. but im enjoying it just how it is, so anything else you do is just perfecting an already awesome game. so thank you for working so hard, i wish i had your talent.

hey got a... glich/bug. have 5 Dick wolves, breed a new one. so gotta get rid of one. went to clients and sold one. came back and it still forced me to release one of my 5 remaining dick wolves. dont know if it happens with all critters but thought i would let you know, didnt see it in anyother comments. thanks again for the great game. if i wasnt unemployed i would be puting some money in donations.

I had a similar issue with the less than requirements. By the endgame, my monsters started with half stats and after one breeding had full stats. It was just easier to save, sell monster, see if requirement had something stupid like less than, albino, or cruel, if so, load, if not, party on, Wayne.

The requirements seem to be cyclical. After meeting a few really hard requirements, then I'd get a string of much easier clients who just wanted high stats on a particular monster.

It would also be nice if they paid a little better. 10mil at 40k a pop takes a bit.
